Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a technique that will prevail in the next generation wireless communication. Channel estimation is one of the key challenges in OFDM, since high-resolution channel estimation can significantly improve the equalization at the receiver and consequently enhance the communication performances. In this paper, we propose a system with an asymmetric … Read more
We investigate a planning problem arising in the forthcoming Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB-T) system. Unlike current analog systems, the DVB-T standard allows a mitigation of the interference by means of a suitable synchronization of the received signals. The problem we describe in this paper is that of finding a time offset to impose to the … Read more
The introduction of digital technology all over Europe requires a complete and challenging re-planning of the actual terrestrial broadcasting system. In fact, in order to implement digital networks, transmitters and frequencies must be removed from the current analog networks. On the other hand, the service level (territory coverage) of analog networks must be preserved until … Read more
